Board 8 > Charizard had no chance.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bowser has a richer history while Charizard is a party member character of an irrelevant no story rpg series.

The last Pokemon was in 2016(the seven hundredth game of the franchise) & Charizard wasn't even the MC or party member in it meaning he hasn't been relevant in his own franchise since 2004(going by Fire Red's US release year) or the main focus since the first game seeing as your MC in Gold(the second game) was Feraligatr. He had several Smash appearances, but during a time when people were a lot more hyped for other new character reveals.

Bowser has 20+ games, one of the pillar franchises of Nintendo, and had a new game come out in June of 2018. Not to mention a cartoon show back when Saturday morning cartoons were relevant. Let's not even mention his appearances in the smash series(been in all but one of them) & non-Nintendo properties(like the annoying Bowsette meme).

Charizard is out classed in this fight.

also, any honest adult knows that bowser is a more nuanced character than charizard

Topic title should have been "This contest has lost all credibility" goddamn it

This contest is a fraud.

the appeal of both of them is "hey it's a cool monster thing" but bowser actually has multiple games of development and a central role in his series, whereas charizard is just one of 150 (or more) optional collectable monsters soooooo

CHARRRRRRR.

But what about the cool factor?
---

bowser's way cooler than charizard tbh

Neither of them are very "cool", they both spew flames
---

Bowser won because of Bowsette
